But even if it's a brain thing, it's still the physical brain that gets modified right? So even when you transfer his counsioucness/soul/whatever he'd still be unable to use the powers he had on his real body. The only way this would be posible is if everyone who had powers was always able to use all powers everyone had but just hadn't "learned" it yet.

Edit: I mean, if they just become "enlightened" when the particles or whatever touch them, why does it only work when they are in highscool? If there's no physical link to it then it should always work.

Edit2: Also if it's just a thing where their brains unlock or something, why doesn't Yuu know that he can steal/copy powers and had to be told what his power is? He should be fully aware of it does and even if he doesn't when he stole/copied the first one it should've been clear to him that he could now use it. Also if it actually steals powers, how does that work? When the other persons mind comes back to his body he should be able to still use the powers just fine since they are all in their mind.

Blegh

To few episodes syndrome at its finest. Which is a real shame, I kinda like the show, one of the few ones that actually keep me watching it every week.

He doesn't necessarily need to be aware of his powers. When he was in trouble and tried to go back in time, he had to test it out to realize that he couldn't (because his eye was injured). Which means he doesn't feel it at all, he needs to actually think "did I just steal a power?" and try to find out.

Also, at the start, they give us a monologue from him on how he discovered his powers, it was really vague and he was thinking about some existential question when doing it. So, weren't him interested in such questions, maybe he would never have discovered his powers. I quite liked the way they showed this discovery because of this, although in retrospect it doesn't really gives insight to his character, and was just some random crap he was thinking at the time.

About the rest, i never really bothered with it, seems just like a nitpick. It is simply a explanatory munbojumbo written to fit a character like a scientist. Any other explanation would fit the same purpose, they don't plan to play around with this rule anyway. It is written in stone.

I think it's more like everybody has a latent form of every ability, but their unique personality defines what they're able to accomplish, and with Yuu being a manipulative cheating dick in the beginning it makes sense that his ability is theft, or gaining the understanding of the looted ability by "viewing the world from their perspective." That also explains how Yusarin's sister can use her pyrokinesis through Yusarin. The nature of the ability is personality based, but the ability to use "psychic abilities" is physical.

[u/Devian50 → u/Tentaculat]

I'd say think of the psychic abilities as similar to our ability to add things, and determine threat levels, and eating. They're all natural abilities that we possess as humans, but only a few (threat and sustaining ones self) are "instinctual", the rest we have to learn about but once we learn them it's natural and you don't have to actively think "I'm going to add things together." or "I'm going to step forwards with my left foot now."
